My roommate thought she hated cooking and then she moved in with me and started using knives that were actually sharp and realized cooking is fun. Sometimes I wonder how many other situations are like this. It's not you, or your skills. It's just the lack of correct tools. Everyone knows you need a knife in the kitchen but no one mentions a sharpening stone.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

it's amazing how if you just murder people on your own most people will agree that that's wrong but if you sign up to murder people overseas for the government you have like hundreds of people coming out of the woodwork like "pleeeease be nice to him 🥺 he was just a newborn baby who only enlisted to pay for college. pleeeease don't make fun of him, he is zero years old. he didn't know any better :( despite logging 10,437 hours in call of duty he was somehow completely unaware that the military kills people. he was poor also."

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

language is amazing

Tweet I saw reposted that I don't like. It's normal and innocuous for a tme streamer to have channel point rewards to remind them to drink water, but it's clearly a perverted fetish thing if the streamer is a trans woman

Those fundraisers are all scams bro that’s why they get removed

the fundraisers are getting deleted because the hosting sites and social media don’t want them there, flags their accounts as spam and shadow bans or fully bans accounts supporting Palestinians. I have a peer from high school who’s Palestinian and sharing fundraising for her family still in Gaza and other funding efforts in my city for refugees moving/have moved here. Those fundraisers also have campaigns online and they have had instances of them being wrongfully terminated.

Are them and their families scammers too? Have we forgotten people are being arrested or deported or fired from their jobs or expelled for simply speaking out against war crimes and genocide?

What about the Palestinians on tumblr who have put so much work into verifying these fundraisers? They’ve been run off this site because of these non stop inflammatory comments.

and if there is a scam account among the countless people who desperately need help? I truly don’t care if my 10 bucks may fall into the wrong hands when the rest goes to people who need it. If people are unsure and may not want to donate directly to families, there’s resources online for on the ground, Gazan led initiatives to donate to.

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

all the panic and handwringing about DIY is so funny. I tried the pharma stuff, it's not worth the hassle and I can't even get the esther I want so I'm going back to buying it myself. it's literally just easier
